Summary: One redeeming factor
Review: Have the several versions of the game, saw the movie, and the ONLY redeeming factor of this movie was the fact that James Purefoy was in it!!Anyone who paid money top see this in theatres won't buy it and those that havn't yet seen it will. It was just ok.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply Genious
Review: I was so excited when I first heard that they were going to make the movie Resident Evil. I am such a huge fan of the series and know everything about the plot. I went to see it four times at the movies and loved it. I recomend this action packed thriller to everyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Action, hot actress, action, hot actress, action, action
Review: Resident Evil is quailfied for one of the best movies of the Spring\Summer. Definately the best action\gore movies. . .ever.
Even though Resident Evil isn't based on one of the widly popular games, it's still good: Flesh eating zombies, mad dogs that look as if their skin had been turned inside-out, (just like the games) and don't forget the lickers.
We start with a "crazy computer" that kills everyone in a lab testing with the T-virus. So a team of SWAT-like commandos find two people who have been knocked out by nerve gas or something and take them down to the Umbrella falculity and fight the computer.
Sure, listen to the retarted critics and say, "That sounds like it sucks!" Yes, it IS stupid, just like the games but it is, not quite, but ALMOST as gorey, especially the part where the team gets caught in a hallway with a laser that chops them into bits--
my favorite part!
Well, here's the ratings:

Setting 10\10: Secret Umbrella lab
Horror 10,000\10: Mutants, flesh eating zombies, "crazy" computer
Characters 8\10: None from the game, but Michille Rodriguz is hot
Ending 9\10: Keeps you wanting for more.

Well this is a great action\horror flick. Best of the Summer, with hot actresses, it's definately a must-see. Plus, it's coming out a DVD and VHS this month. Double plus, their making another RE movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Resident Evil Good or Bad?
Review: I am not going to sit here and pretend i liked this movie when i first saw it but i am a big fan of the games so i had to give it a shot. I love the games and have defeated them all and i just bought a game cube simply to the R.E. remake so yes i am a true fan of the games themselves which is why i was disappointed with this film. Where was Jill? Where was Claire? Where was Chris? Where was Barry? Where was Wesker? I'm sure you get the point. How can you call a film Resident Evil and then go and not have any of the characters from the game in it? Then when i read that the zombiemaster himself George Romero had walked off the set i just knew it was in trouble. Then an amazing thing happened i saw the film a second time then a third and by then i loved it and it has turned into a fovorite. I have gone on a rampage and purchased a movie poster signed by the cast, various banners, standees and other stuff. I have to say i loved this movie but that was only after i had accepted the fact that Milla was not Jill. Paul Anderson has a good track record as far as i am concerned as i loved Event Horizon which did a wonderful job of blending horror with sci-fi but i still think Resident Evil would have been a better film if Romero had done it. It does lack gore and that certain punch that a zombie film needs and that would have been what Romero brought to the table. Alice doesnt even get a gun until halfway through the movie which is rather disappointing but all in all a very well done quite enjoyable little romp that all fans of the game should own.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Action/Horror Film!
Review: I saw this movie when it first came into theaters.I thought it would be a bit cruddy because i didnt follow the same story line as the Resident-Evil video game.When i saw the entire movie I thought it was the best ever.I especially like Slipknot making music for it as well.The movie and games had similarities but I think this was the best ever made.And i hope that Constantin Films creates a Resident-Evil 2 because i have heard rumors of another movie and at the end of the movies you see milla walking out into the street and resident evil 2 the game takes place on the streets of Racoon City. This is all for now and i hope the little wish comes to be.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good time for all.
Review: Frankly, I can't STAND the Resident Evil video games; they're slow and pointless. But for some reason, I truly enjoyed the movie. Maybe it's because it has nothing to do with the games; or maybe it's because I just enjoy seeing zombies get killed. Whatever it is, I recommend this movie to anyone who's in the mood for a solid action flick.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Horror Movie Ever...
Review: I think this movie as the best and I really want to own it. After seeing it 4 times I just got to see it again for the 5th time or 6,7,8,9,10.... so on and so on...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: what's wrong with slasher movies? nothing
Review: OK, for my money this movie rocked.

Of course it's predictable and of course it's cheesy but it's Resident F'in Evil, what did you really expect coming into this movie? It's not The Godfather, or whatever film you may think is "excellent, 5 stars", but who cares. Nothing ever is anymore and most likely nothing ever will be again because everyone is sooooo critical.

Sorry, back to the point now. What the film lacked in plot it more than made up for in it's aesthetic appeal. Framing and lighting were well above par. The editing was Tight, Tight, Tight, wrapping up loads of info in short and sweet sequences that over load your brain just enough be excited by what ever otherwise boring, made up, technical fact that you just heard. The sound was completely engrossing which is important for the jumping and the scaring. I normally don't like Marilyn Manson's music, i mean it's really not my thing, but the score was really great.

All in all i thought it was a great Translation/interpretation of a prequel to a video game. and a really great slasher movie. you remember that genre, right?

it is what it is, and it is really cool.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most twisted film I've seen yet
Review: I was very imprest with this movie. The wounderfuly written plot was just awesome, filled with twisted horror. It starts out deep under ground in a top secret Reasearch Lab where genetic mutations and viral chemicals are made. Its called The Hive, controlled by The Umbrella Incorporation, they pratically own the country. A deadly Virus is released forcing the The Hive to Seal up. Soon after(Milla Jovovich)awakens in a mansion above the Hive. She finds herself alone and can't remember anything! A resuce team (kinda like the "Stars" on the video game)Crashes in meeting up with her. They also meet up with this man who claimes to be a cop. The team has been sent to enter the Hive. There orders to shut down the Head Artifical Intelligence Computer. They whole group bgins to desent underground through a Secret Security entrence to the Hive. I can't say anymore, don't want to reuin it.

But I can say Theis Film thickens and grows with horror as it moves. Filled with some slight gore but its enough to make your stomach turn. Creepy pop outs the gives you a shiver or a little jump. I loved how the whole movie set up with its lose ends but then it comes together in the final. A lot of my friends didn't like it, they said it was confusing. Well yes its comfusing if you don't watch and pay attention. Pratically everything has importants through the movie. This is the best of its kind. Its definitly Original! You should at least see it once ... or twice!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gore, Horror, and Hot Girls With Guns!
Review: Ok Resident Evil has been poorly rated.. and this has me confused. Overall I think that this movie deserved 5 stars. It had everything, espically two very beautiful lead characters Michelle Rodriguez(Girlfight, The Fast and The Furious, Blue Crush) and Milla Jovovich(The Fifth Element, Dazed and Confused, The Million Doller Hotel.) who are I think perfect for the parts of this move... Buy this movie!
Hope This Helps
